random numbers generator

The following method delivers a number between 10000 and 99999:

public int generateRandom5DigitNumber() {

// get a random number between 0.0 and 0.99~999

double random = Math.random();

// initialize the return value as the smallest 5-digit number

int returnValue = 10000;

// now we have to combine the initial return value with our random number

// first we have to convert our random to a value between 0 and 89999...

int randomPartToAdd = (int)((random * 90000));

// ...and add it then to the initial value

return returnValue + randomPartToAdd;

}
